Cactus Salad

2 Large Cactus Pads or large canned Cactus (cleaned and diced or sliced)

2 Roma Tomatoes (diced)

1 Small Onion (diced)

1/2 bunch of Cilantro (minced)

1/2 tsp of dried oregano

1 lime juice

1 Tbsp of Spectrum Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil because it has a light taste

1 Tbsp of White Vinegar

Sea Salt (up to you how much)

Start to boil 4 cups of water.

Clean the cactus by scraping off the spines and washing them. Dice the Cactus or cut them into slices. Locally I know a store that sells them cleaned and diced ready to use. If there are no fresh nopales you can always use the canned pickled nopales.

Once water is boiling add the cactus and boil for 5 minutes.

Use a colander to take the cactus out of the boiling water and to rinse one more time.

Combine the first 4 ingredients in a bowl then add the last 5 ingredients in and mix well.
